Strange Family Folklore
Driving Ms Velma
Once again, Mom and I were busy in the kitchen, when she started dropping some delicious details from her childhood. I’d heard different stories about her learning how to drive, but she added some curious flavor to this retelling.

Strange Family Folklore
Detangling the Family Tree
In this episode, I interviewed my mother who was born Velma Mae Strange, the youngest of 6 children born to Floyd B. Strange and Beatrice Adams Strange. My Grandfather Floyd, who Mom still affectionately refers to as "Daddy," was the 11th child of the First Freeborn Generation. Mom's mother was famously known as "Mama Bea," by all her grandchildren, such as me. But what's in a name? Mom attempts to clarify our ancestral family tree, which is full of duplicate names and intermarriages. See if you can keep it straight.
